Public Survey for Branford Station TOD Plan

Introduction

The Town of Branford is studying opportunities for transit oriented development (TOD) in the area around the Branford Shoreline East Train Station. This Study is an integral part of a Town and regional initiative to promote neighborhood scale growth and redevelopment that recognizes the potential benefits of a transit asset. A goal of the study is to increase the tax base, and identify uses better suited to the current local and regional economy that are sympathetic to- and reinforce existing neighborhoods. A focus will be placed on improving pedestrian and bicycle access and walkability, to make clear linkages between the Town Center, Branford Station and the river front.

This survey is intended to gather opinions from the diverse range of people who live, work or own property in Branford, on the key issues facing the train station and waterfront area (see map below) and how they envision its future. Individual responses are confidential and will be tabulated and shared in summary form only.
